Vinyl continues its steady growth with record breaking sales, plenty of crowdfunding campaigns and new experiments. In addition to vinyl releases, a number of documentary and journalistic projects related to vinyl are being funded via Kickstarter. Also of note, Marshall Crenshaw is experimenting with a vinyl subscription series that offers an interesting alternative model to that of indie streaming subscription services.

"The subscription service...will provide fans with a steady stream of new Marshall Crenshaw music via a series of exclusive three-song 10-inch, 45 RPM vinyl EPs on Addie-Ville Records, six of which the artist plans to release over a two-year period. In addition to the vinyl discs, subscribers will also receive a download card for digital versions of the EP tracks."

"Each EP consists entirely of newly recorded, never-before-released material, encompassing a new original Crenshaw composition, a classic cover tune, and a new reworking of a time-honored favorite."
